Our 3 stage process works like this

Step 1: Identify.

We will identify any legislation that is applicable to you and your business including whether or not you and your business is complying with that legislation by:
- looking at any areas of your business where there is potential exposure for risk given your business’ particular commercial activity and objectives; and
- identifying what processes you may have in place already in your business so as to determine whether or not they are adequate to meet both existing and anticipated risk.
